Garmin Intelliducer NMEA 2000 - Thru-Hull - 13-24° Deadrise

Upgrade your boating experience with a reliable thru-hull transducer designed for seamless integration into your marine electronics setup. This intelligent sensor captures precise water depth and temperature readings, delivering them directly to your NMEA 2000 network for real-time display on compatible chartplotters and instruments. Perfect for vessels with hulls featuring a 13 to 24-degree deadrise, it ensures accurate performance without the guesswork of traditional sonar setups.

Unlock Superior On-Water Awareness

Imagine navigating shallow bays, tracking fish in deeper waters, or monitoring water conditions during long cruises—all with data that's automatically calibrated and network-ready. Unlike basic transducers that require manual configuration, this smart device self-adjusts to provide clean, dependable sonar returns. Boaters praise its ability to cut through clutter, offering clearer bottom contours and reliable temperature insights that help with everything from route planning to engine performance monitoring.

In real-world scenarios, such as coastal fishing or weekend yachting, having instant access to depth up to 900 feet means avoiding hidden hazards and maximizing your time on the water. Its 150-watt power output punches through varying water conditions, while the 160 kHz frequency delivers focused beams ideal for most recreational and light commercial applications.

Technical Edge for Serious Boaters

• Mounting Flexibility: Tailored for thru-hull installation on hulls with 13-24° deadrise angles, ensuring flush fitting and minimal drag.
• Robust Reach: Tracks depths to 900 feet, suitable for offshore adventures.
• Power and Precision: 150-watt RMS power with a 20-foot cable for straightforward routing.
• Dual Sensing: Combines depth and water temperature for comprehensive environmental data.

These specs aren't just numbers—they translate to fewer false readings and more confidence behind the helm, especially in choppy seas where hull angle matters most.

Effortless NMEA 2000 Connectivity

Plug into your existing Garmin marine network and watch the data flow. This transducer communicates via NMEA 2000, populating your multifunction displays with depth, temp, and even speed-over-ground overlays if networked with other sensors. It's a game-changer for upgrading older systems without ripping out wiring, keeping your cockpit clutter-free and information centralized.

For those new to marine networks, NMEA 2000 acts like a digital backbone, sharing data across devices. This unit auto-identifies on the bus, simplifying setup and reducing troubleshooting time compared to analog alternatives.

Streamlined Installation Tips

Installing a thru-hull transducer might sound intimidating, but this model's design prioritizes ease. Start by selecting a spot on the hull forward of the prop and keel, matching your deadrise angle for optimal beam projection. Drill precisely, bed with marine sealant, and secure using the provided hardware. Route the 20-foot cable away from electrical noise sources, then drop in the NMEA 2000 T-connector for instant network access.

Pro tip: Test in shallow water post-install to verify bottom lock and calibrate if needed. Regular hull cleaning prevents marine growth from degrading performance, extending the sensor's lifespan in saltwater environments.
